It's great for carrying stuff, unfortunately it sometimes isn't big enough to accommodate some of my usual accessories e.g. A4 Sketch pad. You do get some funny looks, but "man bags" are becoming fashionable at the moment so I just pretend to be a trend setter.

I know this is slightly off topic but I was wondering what other Jackets from Wested you guys have? I was looking through the Wested webpage and saw the Minority Report jacket, I think it looks pretty good, I'm seriously thinking of getting one, and the Lethal Weapon jacket looks good too. What do y...

morgan

I'll probably give it a go anyway just to see. At the moment I'm having second thoughts about the Federation and now am seriously thinking about forking the extra £40 for the Deluxe. I want the hat to be my traveling hat so I want it to last for ages... but the federation is so cheap to many choices...

morgan

I know this was an old post, but looking over the theory again it has interested me, and as I will be buying my federation shortly I am seriously thinking about trying the theory out my self. How many of you have been using the 90 degree turn to get the Raiders look? Does anyone know if it would wor...

Hi guys. I’ve had my Wested now for about nine months… I love it. I’m a little worried about the action pleats. I must confess that I’ve never known how they’re ment to look (could some one post examples to show how the pleats are suppose to look with arms down and arms up). This would be a great he...

You won't find customer service like his anywhere else. Good bye good friend.

Have you tried army surplus sites. I think I've seen it before or similar on one of them.

I'm new to COW, but not new to gear and props. I have recently aquired a few bags and I just thought I'd post my W&G flap. Looks like the scanner picked up more of the fabric texture then it did the stamp, but its still legible. I work with photoshop extensively here at college, I'd like to mak...

Sorry I was using the search function and looking at posted from about two months ago.

So it was a gift, hardly means that FS are his personal preference as some of you guys make it sound.

morgan

morgan

Sorry can't find it... someone fill me in I haven't been arround for a while.

morgan

morgan

Sorry don't own a whip myself, far to expensive for little old me.

I was just wondering if you could, a simple yes or no answer would have been fine but I'm glade you went into more detail... I'm off to whip section in indygear so that I can decipher you answer

How do you know that HF has a FS jacket?

I seem to remember reading that HF is very friendly with Peter Botwright and my guessing is, he buys jackets straight from WESTED.

morgan

morgan

Can you swing on a normal whip like indy does in the films? just wondering.

morgan

The fedora looks awful in that picture. Haven't seen that episode yet, must look out for it. Is Mr Ford in it much?

morgan

morgan

I've only used letap on it. I'll look in the garden for any mini crop circles

Its a long thin dark mark that runs along the back of my neck, and its not a tan line.

morgan

morgan

I keep getting a dark mark on my neck, I'm wondering if its my wested that is doing this, anyone had this problem?

morgan

morgan

I had the same problem as you. I went for goat in the end as I wanted my jacket to last a long long time. I love it, the grain can be a bit rough in areas (pocket flaps) but on the whole mine is perfect. I'm wearing it all the time in the British winter, and its been quite cold recently, I have been...

morgan

Mine is fine. I not as anal as some gearheads about screen accuracy. Personnally I like the few minor flaws in my jacket... it makes it a one of a kind. But your problem sounds a little bit more than minor, I'm not a fountain of knowledge when comes to this sort of thing. Come on guys give the newbi...

morgan

The links to it are dead, has it gone out of business?

morgan

morgan

I believe that Speilberg is a true Wested man. It might be best to send a copy of the pic to Peter Botwright, it is likely to be one of his.

morgan

morgan

I wish I could find a tannery or good supply of affordable leather journals in my area

.

morgan

morgan

I saw one of those books at a local book shop. I thought the cover looked and felt a little like those cheap plastic leather effect covers that you can get. Are the books real leather or fake effect leather?

morgan

morgan

Mine doesn't smell that much. I think Noel Howard must have his ones washed before he sends them out. The only problem is the strong smell of leather from the strap.

morgan

morgan

I like the strap of the NH but not so much the buckel. Although the buckel for the strap during the temple scene at the start of Raiders looks a lot like the NH one, was this scene filmed first and the buckel changed after?

morgan

morgan

What’s the material like on the WPG. The Mk VII is made from a very heavy strong canvas material, which is probably why you can still use them today with out causing too much damage to them. Also what’s the stitching like on the WPG compared to the Mk VII?

morgan

morgan

I don't know why people call it a purse, I have never seen a purse with a 65"+ strap before, its has more of a messenger bag quality I think.

morgan

morgan

I think that proves what a quality hat the Fed Deluxe is, I must say I can hardly tell the difference between the two. You have two beautiful hats there

...

can I have one!

morgan

morgan

That’s the poet! It looks just like the Fed Deluxe from the HatsDirect site. A real beauty

'Making' them do anything is not an option, as they, like HJ and other old high end companies, have PLENTY of orders and items that they've sold for generations that they're MORE than happy to help where they can, but they're not going to kill themselves to create exactly what we want. What ever ha...

morgan

Do they sell them in the brown colour now? and if they don't we should get them to change them back!

morgan

morgan

Is that why indy always looks bolt upright when he’s geared up. Like in TOD just after the scene when Willie says “Lets get out of here” and indy replies “Yeah… All of us” then goes and saves the little kids.

I don't believe we have beavers at all in England, We're an island after all and I doubt that any European beavers would want to brave the channel crossing to set up home here.

morgan

morgan

they are, after all, orthopedic

I never knew that, I also thought that orthopedic shoes are suppose to be horrid. You learn something new every day!

morgan

morgan

I know the general consensus is that Mr. Swales is a nasty bloke. You've got to remember that HJ is part of the old English class system (that is supposed to be defunct) they consider dealing us lowly fans as a step down from their usual cliental like the Duke of Edinburgh etc. I don't understand w...

morgan

I know a lot of fans love them, I have yet to get a pair or any indy-look shoes, as the Aldens are one of the more expensive items of the gear.

What are they like?

morgan

morgan

What does "Mk" stand for?

morgan

morgan

I still will treat mine with great care.

“I’ll be drinking my Mk VII health when yours has gone the way of the dodo!”

morgan

morgan

Not the original precious Mk VII. I wouldn’t let a single drop of water hit my precious. If you’re talking about the WPG bag that’s fine as there is a (for all intense and purposes) endless supply of those, while original Mk VII’s are like gold dust now.

morgan

morgan

My real Mk VII is an olive green colour with a bit of tan wheres its faded the most. I personally think that the indy look calls more for the faded tan look from olive green then a pure olive green. Look at all the movies you'll see that the bag is always more of a tan colour, personnally I wouldn't...

morgan

He be luckly, I've searched the internet and all the WWII stores I could find and they have nothing.

morgan

morgan

Give him time, he will reply. I was quite a pain in the ### when I was buying my Mk VII from him, I must have sent about 10 emails to him and he reply to all of them. He is a busy man, just wait a few more days.

I have been thinking about this for some time and knowing how the indy shirt is always a problem with us gear heads, I was wondering if we could collectively design and get made the perfect indy shirt that looks and feels like a piece of indy gear should. I know a few good tailors but they might be ...

morgan

Noel sells the used ones (all he has left) for about £40 with out P&P, that must be about $50. Supply and demand. Looks like WPG is the future of the indy bag. I hope some other suppliers start getting into the MkVII repros to give us a bit more choice, I wonder if Noel is thinking of starting r...

Where did you get it from? I think MBA only stock W&G bags which is why they have less then ten left.

Do they have a website, we don't have Old Navy in England.

I admit the stones don't look as good as the mountain, it was a nice idea at any rate.

morgan

That looks great. The pre-distressed cowhide looks to be a better colour match to the films jackets but I notice it seems to be a bit more crumpled and is catching a few shadows which may be giving the impression of a darker hide. By the way what’s the goatskin like as I shall soon be buying one of ...

I like the mountain more than the plane, although I still like the idea of the sacred stone, buts that just me I'm sure in time "you to will become a true believer!" . If your thinking of doing separate stamps for the three films then your could have the mountain from Raiders, Sacred Stone...
